G3 with $45k, invites, casters, more

The tournament has previously seen mousesports and London Conspiracy win the two online qualifiers, leaving one qualifier, restricted to UK teams, to be held on July 7-8 online.

Now the organizers have also announced the seven first invitations for the twelve team tournament, though it's worth noting these teams have not yet officially accepted the invitations:

NiP	fnatic	Titan	mousesports
Na`Vi	dignitas	Epsilon	London Conspiracy
LDLC	TBA	TBA	UK qualifier

There is also a spot for this year's ESWC event up for grabs, with either the winner getting it, or, in the case the winner already has one, the next best team without a secured spot.

Gfinity have also increased the event's prize pool from $30,000 to $45,000, a neat 50% increase that puts G3 among the events with the highest prize purse for CS:GO so far in 2014.

1. $20,000 + ESWC spot
2. $10,000
3-4. $5,000
5-8. $1,250

Casting lineup for the $45,000 tournament has also been announced, with big names such as Scott "SirScoots" Smith, Duncan "Thorin" Shields and Anders Blume present:

Anders "Anders" Blume
